GOD IS NEEDED IN AMERICA AGAIN!!

You do not have to go far to realize our country has a moral crisis. We have had it so good and have just kind of 'gone to sleep at the wheel' so to speak while forces come in to try to change the form of government we established with our Founding Fathers. Little by little corruption seeped in and we were so busy we did not care or did not see it. If we do not wake up and go back to our Christian principles we are going to be judged by God. It is in the Bible. Christians and conservatives are made to look like lunatics by the liberal media and many in Hollywood. This is not a Democrat thing or a Republican thing but this is a Freedom thing.

Lying ,corruption,and cheating have become common place and lots of it among those in Washington,DC. What is happening? Who can we trust? Why can't people open their eyes and notice this? It is because the god of the spirit of this world, Satan, has blinded allot of people and they would rather believe a lie than the truth. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God." You can not keep taking God out of this country. Many want to change with the times but "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8).

As it says in our pledge of allegiance "We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." There are forces attempting to re-educate our young people to take out references to our Christian founding but the Bible in fact was used in writing the documents that helped to shape America. As long as we followed the Bible we were doing great but there are always going to be dissenters and evil. The USA is like no other nation and many are jealous of what we have and want to destroy us. Recently there have been too many in DC trying to control everything we in America do. This is not what the Founders intended. A sleeping giant has awoken and said enough is enough. We love our country and we do not want those we elected to take our freedoms away from us.That was not part of the deal. Yes we know God is the one working 'behind the scenes' but He wants us to let Him back in.

John Adams one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and also second President of the United States said "The Holy Ghost carries on the whole Christian system in this earth. Not a baptism, not a marriage, not a sacrament can be administered but by the Holy Ghost. There is no authority, civil or religious – there can be no legitimate government but what is administered by this Holy Ghost. There can be no salvation without it. All without it is rebellion and perdition, or in more orthodox words damnation." Pretty strong words wouldn't you say? He knew you needed to keep the Lord on the throne and not man. We are to follow God's rules to have a successful country. It was the plan of the Founders to get out from under the rule of tyrants and live in a representative form of government. When our representatives start to not 'represent' ,as in recent times, then we have the power still to vote them out.

Once again this is not about politics but this is about keeping the word of God as supreme and the guide for running the United States of America. Ignore it and its' laws and we will surely fail. God has blessed us but will not continue to bless if we continue on the same destructive path going our own way and ignoring Him.

I have a passion for my country and for freedom and liberty which I am not ashamed of. I love America. I have served my country in the military and am proud of it. I do not want to see it taken over and destroyed because we were all too busy to care and too busy to get on our knees and pray. For those of you who have followed my blog long enough you may have seen this theme repeated in different formats that is because I feel we are at the crossroads and need to pray hard to save America. 2 Chronicles 7:14 which I repeat allot says " if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Sometimes when life gets too busy the things to go first sad to say are prayer and Bible reading and next in line would be caring anything about what is going on in the country. When you are busy you just want to go home and let someone else make the phone call or someone else pray about it. Then when it gets serious you may say "Oh my gosh why didn't I do something when I could? Why didn't I care?" Everyone has the ability to pray. And if you can, fast along with it. Somehow when you fast you get more serious about what you are praying for.

Take this day and say your prayers and do not forget to pray for this country and the freedoms we enjoy. History shows us what happens when evil takes over. We certainly do not want to be victims of that. True, God is on the throne but it is time for Americans to wake up, repent, pray and save this great nation!

PRAYER: Lord we need you like never before. Many do not see what is happening so we pray for a great awakening so that the deceit that is going on and trickery will be uncovered. Satan does not like Christ and he does not like the freedoms we enjoy and would do anything or use anyone to destroy this country. Father forgive us for taking what we have for granted. Help us pray for our leaders daily and pray their hearts are softened and they turn from evil to good. We ask you protect the United States of America from tyranny. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Also the following website for Wall Builders has excellent information on our founding and faith. http://www.wallbuilders.com/
Once again if you have about 5 minutes read Deuteronomy Chapter 28. Quite an eye opener.
